Doorgang van het Somerset House te Londen, ter hoogte van de Waterloo Bridge 1888 - 1891

This is a pencil sketch by Willem Witsen, a Dutch artist known for his realistic and expressive depictions of everyday life. Created between 1888 and 1891, "Doorgang van het Somerset House te Londen, ter hoogte van de Waterloo Bridge" captures a passageway of the Somerset House in London, near the Waterloo Bridge. Witsen's keen eye for detail is evident in the sketch, which uses light strokes to capture the architectural elements of the passageway, including a vaulted ceiling and a chandelier. This sketch is a glimpse into Witsen's artistic process and his interest in capturing the urban environment. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
